Sparklers--venue offers it, should I?
AprilBride in Planning, on January 6, 2015 at 8:44 PM

AprilBride in Planning, on March 5, 2015 at 9:16 PM

When to send rehearsal dinner invites?
AprilBride in Planning, on March 4, 2015 at 4:25 PM

We are six weeks out this weekend. Is that too soon to send rehearsal dinner invites? I don't want to get them out too early, and then people forget about it because of the length of time. What are...

Tuxedo timeline
AprilBride in Wedding Attire, on February 22, 2015 at 8:19 PM

FH is losing weight and would like to wait until three weeks before the wedding to purchase his tux. Is this too late? Our plan is to go into Macy's. Thoughts?

AprilBride in Do It Yourself, on February 22, 2015 at 9:46 AM

I have been collecting antique handkerchiefs and I plan to put them in a basket and have them out before the ceremony. Will people know they are welcome to take one, or do I need a little sign?
